LTL Freight
What is FTL Shipping?
Full Truckload (FTL) shipping refers to the transportation of goods that fill an entire truck trailer. It is the preferred option when your shipment's size or volume requires the exclusive use of a single truck. With FTL, you gain the advantages of less handling and having greater control over the shipment.
With SMARTT Shipping, you can have peace of mind knowing that your FTL shipments are handled by industry professionals. Our expertise in shipping, extensive carrier network and commitment to exceptional customer service make us the preferred choice for businesses seeking reliable transportation solutions across Canada.
What is LTL Shipping?
Less than Truckload (LTL) freight shipping consists of smaller shipments, typically only taking up a small portion of a truck. It offers a practical solution for businesses looking to ship goods that don't fill an entire trailer.
This approach allows multiple shipments from different companies to be consolidated into a single truck, optimizing efficiency, and reducing costs.
What is Parcel Shipping?
Parcel shipping refers to the transportation of smaller packages or parcels from one location to another. It is an essential service for businesses that require cost-effective and timely delivery of their goods. Parcel shipments are typically smaller in size and weight, allowing for flexible and convenient transportation options.
Whether you need to send a single package or manage a high volume of parcels, we have the technology, courier network and expertise to ensure reliable and timely deliveries.
